Dancing with Distraction Entry

Distracting, unexpected erections

It's a common disruption

Stiffening when in public places

The theatre, doctor's, bus, dentist's and

Right before you answer the door

Aching in jeans

Chafing in briefs

There's no end to the embarrassing situations

I can't be on my own, suffering from

One of the oldest problems, with

No way to end these distracting unwanted erections!

*

Thanks for reading!

I feel this is quite self-explanatory.

I hope you enjoyed this!

    Oh, my, my, my, my..., the memories. Is that why we call them "the good ole days?" I remember distinctly having such a development in the front of my English class in junior high. The contortions I went through in my attempts to conceal it.

    'I hope you enjoyed this!' Who wouldn't enjoy an erection, especially just before "The Pull of the Forest"?
